<h1>About using a Heat Map widget as a selector</h1>
<p>In Flash Mode in MicroStrategy Web, users can interact with the widget 
 to control targeted Grid/Graphs and panel stacks in the document.</p>
<p>You can use any related area headers or rectangles in the widget as 
 selectors. A user can hover over and select a header or rectangle in the 
 widget to display related data in target Grid/Graphs and panel stacks. 
 If a rectangle or header can be used as a selector, the cursor changes 
 to a hand pointer. For example, if the Category attribute is defined as 
 a selector, the Category header can be used as a selector. If an additional 
 attribute such as Region is also enabled as a selector, individual rectangles 
 can be used as selectors. All data in target Grid/Graphs and panel stacks 
 is updated after a user selects the header or rectangle.</p>
<p>To use a widget as a selector, you first choose the target Grid/Graph 
 and/or panel stack in Desktop. You can also do this in Design Mode or 
 Editable Mode in MicroStrategy Web. </p>
<p>The steps to enable a Heat Map widget as a selector are as follows:</p>
<ol start="1" type="1" class="whs1">
	
<li style=" font-size: 9pt; font-weight: normal; " class=p><p class="whs2">In 
 <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Design</B></span> or <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Editable 
 Mode</B></span>, do one of the following:</p></li>
</ol>
<ul start="7" type="1" class="whs3">
	<ul type="disc" class="whs4">
		
<li class=p><p class="whs2">Right-click 
 the attribute, custom group, or consolidation in the Grid/Graph to use 
 as the selector, and choose <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Edit Selector</B></span>. 
 The Configure Selector dialog box opens. </p></li>
		
<li class=p><p class="whs2">Right-click 
 the Metrics column in the Grid/Graph, and choose <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Edit 
 Selector</B></span>. The Configure Selector dialog box opens.</p></li>
	</ul>
</ul>
<ol start=2>
<li style=" font-size: 9pt; font-weight: normal; " class=p><p class="whs2">Select 
 the target Grid/Graph or panel stack in the list of available targets 
 on the left. Click<span style="font-weight: bold;"><B> &gt;</B></span> to add 
 it to the list of selected targets on the right. You can select multiple 
 targets.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p class="whs5">The 
 attribute, custom group, or consolidation you selected in the Grid/Graph 
 is the source, and the selected Grid/Graph is the target. The Action Type 
 of the selector is set to Select Element. </p></li>
	
<li style=" font-size: 9pt; font-weight: normal; " class=p><p class="whs2">To 
 ensure that the user can select more than one element in the widget, select 
 the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Show option for All</B></span> check 
 box. The values of the selected attribute are displayed in the target 
 grid or the target widget.</p></li>
	
<li style=" font-size: 9pt; font-weight: normal; " class=p><p class="whs2">To 
 ensure that the element displayed in the selector changes if an element 
 is chosen in another selector, select <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Allow 
 selection to be updated by other selectors</B></span>.</p></li>
	
<li style=" font-size: 9pt; font-weight: normal; " class=p><p class="whs2">Click 
 <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>OK</B></span> to apply the changes and return 
 to the document.</p></li>
